According to the results of open tastings of domestic and foreign gooseberries, it was found that the variability of perception of individual components (taste, consistency, external attractiveness of fruits) for the quantitative ratio of respondents differs significantly. The weighted average tasting score does not fully reveal the taster's preferences and does not always allow us to determine the criteria according to which a particular gooseberry variety will be more popular with a potential consumer. Domestically bred varieties with a dessert taste demonstrated stable performance in most tasting parameters among different respondents, regardless of the weather conditions during the research period, especially Gostinets, Kniazhych, Medovyi, Oksamyt and Svarog. In terms of taste, domestically bred gooseberries, such as Gostinets, Medovyi, Svarog and Khreshchenyk, prevailed. In the conditions of the Western Lisosteppe of Ukraine, they significantly outperform introduced commercial varieties in terms of functional adaptability to growing conditions, which ensures the stability of taste and organoleptic indicators of gooseberry berries even under significant abiotic environmental pressure.Varieties of foreign selection, under conditions of significant abiotic stress during berry ripening, received slightly lower scores for organoleptic characteristics and appearance from many participants. The exception was the Belaruskiy sakharnyy variety. Tasters rated it with the highest score over all the years of research. The well-known commercial varieties of foreign-bred gooseberries, Tixia, Pax and Orfey, received the highest scores for the size and appearance of the berries. The taste qualities of these variants were inferior to the best examples of Ukrainian selection.
Key words: gooseberry, variety, tasting, taste, consistency, color, attractiveness, berry, consumer.
